PANGS OF INDIAN KABADDI - Old Story . (Thursday , March 8 , 2012). But it still Hurts.......In search of job, kabaddi player decides to leave state







Jajpur, July 16: National kabaddi player Rashmita Sahu has decided to move out of the state because of alleged government indifference.

The 21-year-old Jajpur girl said neither was she given a job as promised by the railways nor paid the cash award of Rs 50,000 announced by Odisha Olympic Association for her performance in the Women’s World Cup Kabaddi Championship held in Patna last March. India won the tournament after defeating Iran.

“On my return, some railways officials approached me saying they would provide me a job and took some documents from me. I have not heard from them since. I have waited for more than four months and I am frustrated with this uncertain situation,” said Rashmita.
Rashmita said while other states were ensuring jobs and providing monetary and other incentives to their sportspersons, the Odisha government had been looking the other way. “Sportspersons in our state are ignored. Our government does not have any policy or political will to help us maintain our livelihood. Therefore, I have decided to leave the state in search of a job for my family’s sustenance,” she said.

In the past one year, four sportspersons, including star hockey player Prabodh Tirkey and women footballers Sasmita Mallick, Pinky Bompal Magar and Suprava Samal, had been forced to leave the state in search of jobs.

Rashmita’s father Duryodhan Sahu, a farmer, said his daughter has not been duly honoured by the government despite bringing glory to the state.

“My daughter is the first Odia girl to be in the national women’s kabaddi squad. But when she returned home after the tournament in Patna, there was no one from the government to receive her at the railway station. Even after that, I hoped she would be rewarded for her performance and our standard of living would improve, but that has only remained a dream,” he said.

Odisha Olympic Association secretary Ashirbad Behera said they would hand over the Rs 50,000 cash award to Rashmita in the annual felicitation function for sportspersons. “The programme is organised every year in December. Rashmita would be honoured along with other sportspersons who have made our state proud,” Behera said.

Jajpur collector Anil Kumar Samal has assured Rashmita of all help, including writing to the state government to provide her with some incentive. “I will do my best to convince the government to help Rashmita. She is an extraordinary sportswoman and our state cannot afford to lose her,” said Samal.

//  Disclaimer //  FOR INFORMATION ONLY //

Coutsy : https://nirogam.com/deal-sports-injuries-ayurveda/

Introduction
Sports medicine is not described as such in ancient or modern medicine. Sports medicine is nothing but the application of various medical principles to the sports activities, physical exercise and performance endeavours.
Updhatu
There are seven dhatu (body-tissues) that give form and shape to the human body. These are seven in number
  • Rasa Dhatu (plasma)
  • Rakta Dhatu (blood)
  • Mamsa Dhatu (muscle)
  • Meda Dhatu (adipose tissue)
  • Asthi Dhatu (bone)
  • Majja Dhatu (bone-marrow)
  • Shukra Dhatu (seminal and menstrual fluid)
Each of 7 dhatu nourishes and supports updhatu (secondary tissue product or a subsidiary tissue) and produce malas (excreta or waste products). The updhatu neither nourish each other nor any other tissue for the matter. The corresponding updhatu of seven dhatu are tabulated below:
How to Deal With Sports Injuries Through Ayurveda 2
Anatomy of the joint
As per Ayurvedic anatomy, snayu is the term reserved for the ligaments and kandra is the term reserved for the tendons. Sports injuries can be included in this category. The branch of the anatomy dealing with the study of the ligaments is called desmology.
Joint basically represents the articular apparatus. Muscles, ligaments, and tendons are included the extra-articular apparatus.
Incidence of sports injury in India
According to one estimate, about 30% of the population in India engage in various sports activities. 60% of the sportsmen sustain various injuries in the sports field. 30% of the above are rendered permanently unfit for further sports life. Moreover, the rest does not fit in the truest sense with existing treatment.
Functions of asthi according to Ayurvedic system of medicine
Bones give our body shape and structure.  Ligaments, muscles and tendons are connected to asthi.  Having strong bones means having a strong body.
Symptoms of Asthivriddhi include
  • Adhyasthi (bony-hypertrophy)
  • Adhidanta (extra teeth formation).
Symptoms of Asthikshaya include:
  • Asthibhagna (pathological fractures),
  • Asthikshaya (osteoporosis),
  • Asthitoda (Inflammation of bones and joints),
  • Asthivrana (osteomyelitis),
  • Dwija prapatana (falling of teeth),
  • Phakkaroga (rickets),
  • Sadana (weakness),
  • Srama (fatigue).
Sports injury as per Ayurveda
Concepts of sports injuries and their management can be spotted in the Ayurvedic Samhitas like –
  • Bhagna (fractures & dislocations),
  • Sadyovrana (acute wounds) etc.
  • Snayugata Vaata (Tendon & Ligament injury)
  • Vrana (wounds)
  • Vranashotha (inflammatory conditions)
Sports Injury Related Conditions in Ayurveda
  • Bhagna: Bony injuries
  • Kandaragatvata : Tendon injury Ligament versus tendon
  • Mamsagatvata : Sprain, & Fatigue syndrome
  • Sandhimukta: Joint injuries (dislocation, & subluxation).
  • Snayugatvata : Ligament, Nerve & Bursa injuries
Ligament vs tendon
A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue, helping in the attachment of the muscle to bone. Further, tendons also help attach the muscles to structures for example, the eyeball. A tendon helps in the movement of the bone. A ligament is a connective tissue which helps in attachment of one bone with another, and helps in holding the structures together and keeps them stable.
Snayu Marma
Snayu Marma, best defined as vital points, explains the significance of the ligaments which needs protection at any cost. Clinical manifestations sciatica and paralysis occur due to the impaired function of the ligaments along with tendons and blood vessels.
Sanayugata-vata or Vatavrit sanayu roga
Vatavrit sanayu roga or sanayugata-vata is a characterised by musculoskeletal pain and fatigue of wide-spread nature, which strikes in 5% percent of the total population.
Types of ligament as per Ayurveda
Snayu has been mentioned as Vaatavahini Nadi in Ayurveic anatomy (the structures carrying vata, the biological air). In Ayurvedic anatomy, four types of snayu have been described.
  • Pratanavathi Snayu: These are branched and are present in all joints of the body and the extremities.
  • Vrutha Snayu: These are circular in shape and are precisely as Kandara as per Ayurvedic anatomy.
  • Sushira Snayu: They are porous in nature and are located in the end part of stomach, intestines and the urinary bladder.
  • Pruthu Snayu: They are flat in nature and are located in the head, chest, sides, and back.
Allopathic Treatment of Sports Injuries
P = Protection
R = Rest
I = Ice
C = Compression
E = Elevation
M= Medication
M= Modalities
Ayurvedic Treatment of Sports Injuries
Ayurveda as a sports medicine is a relatively new concept – although ancient India relied upon this system to treat and maintain the well being of its warrior folk – and it focuses on health aspects of sports persons, such as, their stamina, flexibility and endurance. It is not only curative and rehabilitative, but also preventive.
  • Prakritisthaapana: To regain physical fitness of a sports person and send him back to the field as early as possible by protection, rest, medication and physiotherapy.
  • Internal Medication: The chief aim is
  1. To boost up tissue healing,
  2. To alleviate pain,
  3. In order to strengthen the injured part.
  • External Therapies: The chief aim is
  1. To alleviate pain
  2. Strengthens joints
  3. To improve function
  • Lepana / Aalepa / Upanaha: The chief aim is
  1. To alleviate pain
  2. To promote tissue healing
  • Kati vasti: It is very effective in low back pain, muscular pain and fatigue syndrome.
  • BandhanaBandage with or without oil massage. 15 types of Vrana Bandhana are described in Ayurveda.
  • Anushastra KarmaThese include Para Surgical Procedures including agnikarma (direct heat application) and Raktamokshana: (Blood Letting Therapy). Both reduce inflammation, alleviate pain and promote healing.
Conclusion
Snayu (ligaments) present in the human body is closely allied to the biological air, the vata. Snayu is one of the extra-articular or subsidiary tissues, mostly involved in sports injury. The study of human-anatomy is very much vital for preventive and curative aspect. Knowledge of snayu (ligaments) is very important for Ayurvedic physicians who are dealing with treatment of sports injury.
